KINGSPORT — Three Kingsport residents have been arrested after a battered woman was spotted crawling to a door for help — directly behind the back of her father, who was telling officers nothing was wrong.

A police report at the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office says that at approximately 3:15 Thursday morning deputies responded to 3320 Cardinal St., Kingsport. Dispatch had received a call stating that two men and a woman were "beating" a female at the home.

When officers knocked on the door, according to a police report, it was answered by Glenn Castle, 49, of the residence.
